there are always men, with nothing to
gain by agitation, who foster quarrels
between masters and men, and when
wages are stopped, food scarce, and
rum and beggary near at hand, it is
easy to prompt deeds of violence and
Injustice, and difficult for the men to
maintain temper. patience and endur-
ance until the point is gained. But
supposing the end to be legitimate and
the means restricted within the civil
and moral laws, the Church, far from
condemning these societies, would, if
true to her traditions, aid and encour-
age the laborer to obtain what she
teaches are his just rights in order to
fulfil moral duties. The Church SYM
pathizes with the oppressed. Enough
has been said to show that the action,
teaching and sympathies of the Church
are with the laborer, the poor and the
oppressed. A Catholic laborer need
have no fear in submitting his case to
the judgment of the Church; if she had
the power there is no doubt that she
would obtain his rights. Granting
that society or combination for the
protection of labor is well and eau
tiously managed, that it is under the
control of reliable persons, that there
is little danger of unlawful acts, fur
ther questions arise as to whether it is
prudent Or polite to enter into a con-
test. whether greater misery will be
caused by the struggle, whether the
victory or the risk of losing all is worth
the attending evils. On these and
similar points the Catholic laborer, if
he has any choice in the matter at all,
may with confidence seek the guidance
of the pastor, who will help him to a
conclusion most in accordance with his
true interests, for the Church loves her
children, delights to assist them, and
fulfls one of her most cherished Offices
in soothing their sorrows, tightening
their burdens, and bringing peace and
content to their souls. - London

ston estate, ''he is one of those wonder
full English tourists seeing Ireland for
himself" An English gentleman Wis
tied the police barracks few days ago
to make inquiries as to what defense
the police could suggest for their MUIR
derous fusilade on Friday.
''Are you an Englishman?" asked a
policeman.
II am"
"Well," replied the valiant warrior,
drawing himself to his full height and
expanding his chest, IF it were not for

The Englishman afterward laughed
heartily at the suggestion. ''It is not
by our army or our navy,' said he,
''that we hold Ireland. It is by the
men who fled off the square on Friday
like a lot of frightened sheep, and then
fired on their unarmed countrymen

There were two magistrates on the
bench-Messrs Eaton and O'Reagan.
The person next in importance, to all
appearance, was wild looking fellow
named Jim Neill, who does the chief
crowbar work on the Kingston estate.
Next in Importance came O'Grady, the
solicitor, and Mr.. Friend, the agent on
the same estate. All others followed in
varying degrees of Importance until it
came to some poor people who did not
seem to be of any Importance at all.
No one, however, was left in doubt as
to Jim Neill's importance. He inter

their worships, which he did not
think Mr., O'Grady competent to do in

sneered at any person who ventured to

burst into fits of Indignation at the plea
that any one could cast the slightest
doubt on the honor or veracity Of Jim
Neill. Occasionally he addressed the
court in a manner which, in ordinary
people, would hardly be regarded as
respectful.

ought to do.''

FROM T0POLOBAMPO.
One of the Oolonists Tells a Horrible Tale
Concerning the Great Cooperative
Association.

Mr.. G. r. Price, of Prescott, Wis, re-
turned from Mexico the other day, af-
ter short residence in that country
and also in Los Angeles, Cal. Mr..
Price left Prescott last February to en-
gage with j. M. Pryse in the pub
lication of paper in the interests of.
the Topolobampo Cooperative colony.
Mr.. Price arrived i'll Guaymas on the
afternoon of February 21. Owing to
thenon-arrival of the steamer which
was to convey the colonists from Quay
mas to Topolobampo, he and a Sec
tion of the party were delayed at the
latter place for some few days. This
delay afterwards proved to be fortun-
ate occurrence, as several parties who
arrived on return steamer from TopO-
lobampo conveyed the startling intelli-
gence that smallpox was raging
amongst the colonists. Mr.. Price did
not care about running any risk, so,,
after receiving c0rrObOrative testimony
of the privations and disease which ex-
listed in the colony, he started for Los
Angeles, where he remained until
about two weeks ago.
Mr.. Price naturally has given consid-
erable attention to the reports reflect
ing on the integrity of those who en-
gineered the Topolobampo Colonization
scheme, and in reply to a question by
representative of The IRISH STAN
DARD, as to what he thought of the
matter, he said:
Everybody can judge for them
selves. Mr.. A. X. Owen, chairman of
board OF directors of the colony, has
never denied the accusations made
against him, of illegally appropriating
$500 of the company's funds. This
money is said to have been used for the
purpose of bribing Mexican officials, in
order that he might stand in with
them. and thus further his own selfish
ends. Mr.. Owen expended on another
occasion $500 for steam yacht, which
he purchased in Chicago. He took it
to Topolobampo. where it was utterly
useless. The cOlOnistS did not like
this extravaganza, more especially as
they were compelled to live on short ra-
tions. Another wildcat scheme of
this Ovens was to build city. This city
was located in barren district, which
could not by any available means of ir-
rigation be made valuable. The colon
lists upon their arrival discovered that
Mr.. Owen had misrepfesented the 'glo-
rious' climate of his Garden of Eden.
70 give you an idea of Mr.. Ovens
heartlessness," concluded Mr.. Price, II
will mention that the first death result
ing from smallpox was a boy 10 years
old. Owen caused the body of the boy
to be thrown into the bay, to be eaten
by sharks, and did not say anything to
the parents of the youth as to what dis
position had been made of the BODY
